It really depends on what the best way forward is for getting it working.  The
problem with adding even more conditions to the existing ones for the two PSK
extensions (and I'll ask again, can anyone explain why a single function is
split across two extensions?) is that "Errata exist" on the RFC's IETF page is
really "Errata exist in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a
disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'",
while having a new standards-track RFC with "Updated by RFC xxxx" added to RFC
8446 means it'll actually get noticed and used.

Peter.
